Abstract
- The ability of CT scan to differentiate and accurately localize cystic, solid, and calcified portions of craniopharyngioma with the ventricular size as well now makes it a very valuable method of investigating this congenital tumor. The authors report a case of huge, mainly cystic craniopharyngioma which unusually occupied entire middle cranial fossa, presenting as an isodense area with suprasellar calcification in brain CT scan.
